An additional 10,000 Title Deeds are undergoing processing, with governor Ntutu’s administration covering the costs of the demarcations.

The president further under- took to consider all the development requests made by various Narok County leaders at the ceremony, and directed the Ministry of Education, whose Minister was present, to set aside ksh5M for development at Leshuta Primary School and a further Ksh10M for the newly established Soipan Primary School.

The president was accompanied by First Lady Rachel Ruto, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetangula and Attorney General Justin Muturi.

Also present were Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire, Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika and Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok, Ten Cabinet Secretaries, over 30 Members of Parliament and a host of MCAs from Narok, Kajiado and Samburu counties.
